Soon after I started my aggressive campaign looking for trial experience, I recovered my first million-dollar verdict. I was 28. The offer from Allstate was $10,000. The jury returned $1,060,000. The state's legal newspaper ran the trial verdict as a front page story. And a funny thing happened.
I started getting referrals from lawyers from all over the state. Lawyers were coming out of the woodwork to refer me these soft tissue and whiplash injury cases. Today I receive referrals from lawyers all over Michigan. Many are wrongful death automobile accidents and serious truck accident cases. But I wouldn't be getting these cases if I hadn't been so willing to take the tough early cases to trial and risk getting my head kicked in repeatedly.
